Havana, May 16 (ACN) The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE, Spanish acronyms) announced on Thursday in Havana that it will provide technical assistance to the Cuban Central Bank (BBC) to strengthen the fight on crimes against humanity.
Speaking at the Conference on Financing for Development underway in this city capital, BCIE deputy executive president Jaime Diaz explained that the move is commonplace practice with all member nations, including Cuba.
